Re: How do I get through this?

February 23, 2006

I know how you feel Becky....I was very concerned about putting my son

through all this. But in the end, it was the right thing to do and he

adjusted just fine. This woman doesn't think it's a big deal b/c she's

not the one who has to go through this...if she had, she might be

saying differently. People can be so rude, no matter what your child

has on his/her head! Just know that you and Katelyn ARE going to get

through this...with a little patience and a lot of humor. It's a very

small period of time in her 90yr+lifespan. Plus, you have a support

group here...I've found this board extremely helpful-especially before

I decided to just do it! You're not a wus...wus's don't make difficult

decisions like this.
